(1)    Earnings consist of income before income taxes, noncontrolling interest and equity in income or losses of equity-method investees plus Fixed Charges.
(2)    Fixed Charges consist of interest expense and our estimate of an appropriate portion of rentals representative of the interest factor. The estimate of interest within rental expense is estimated to be one-third of rental expense.
